Article Synopsis
- The study examines how weather affects the flowering stages of 17 olive cultivars over several years in Elvas, Portugal.
- The research found that bud burst occurred later in some cultivars, while the flowering phase happened earlier, leading to a shorter overall period between these stages, particularly in 2014.
- Different olive cultivars responded uniquely to temperature changes, indicating that both environmental and internal factors influence their development.
Assessment of self-esteem and community integration in spondyloarthritis.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to understand factors linked to low self-esteem and challenges in community reintegration for patients with spondyloarthritis (SpA).
- It involved 72 patients aged 18-50, using various scales to measure self-esteem, social reintegration, and mental health.
- Key findings showed that pain severity, mental health issues, and physical deformities significantly impacted self-esteem and the ability to reintegrate into the community, while inflammatory symptoms were less influential.
Objective: To assess central sensitization in young patients with spondyloarthritis (SpA) and to study the associated factors with higher central sensitization scores.
Methods: This was a cross-sectional study including patients with SpA (ASAS criteria) aged less than 50 years. For all patients, we collected the sociodemographic and disease characteristics data.
Phytosterols are lipophilic membrane components essential not only for diverse cellular functions but also are biosynthetic precursors of the plant hormone, brassinosteroid (BR). However, the interaction between phytosterol and BR during early fleshy-fruit growth remains largely uncharacterized. In olive, phytosterols are important lipids because they affect oil quality, but phytosterol composition during flowering and early fruit development has not been explored.

However, the role of sphingolipids in early fleshy-fruit growth has rarely been investigated. In this study, we first investigated the temporal changes in sphingolipid long-chain base (LCB) content, composition, and gene expression that occurred during flower opening and early fruit development in olive (Olea europaea L.
